Forecasts

Susie Javea (5/2), Mr Strutter (4/1), Naval Officer (5/1), Dyagilev (11/2), Elixsoft (6/1), Chetan (10/1), Al Ozzdi (18/1), My Brother Mike (28/1), Gulland Rock (40/1)

SUSIE JAVEA has developed into a fibresand specialist at this level and it is difficult to oppose her in the search for a hat-trick. Elixsoft won well on her reappearance last weekend and should go close. Chetan is another with claims.
